Rather than marching with the main body, we will ride our own route, breaking
off from the throng of marchers, snaking our way through the streets of San
Francisco, returning intermittently to the main protest route to rally and then
breaking off again.

Saturday's action is more than just a form of self expression, more than a
"quiet statement against oil wars" as the now-famous yellow license
plate says. Through our actions we hope to inspire other protest contingents
to prompt change in the way they participate in the usual protest marches that
are convened in San Francisco, a change that allows them to reach more the residents
of the city, and one that allows their political effect to be multiplied.

Like us, we hope other contingents will take the protest outside the constraints
of the ANSWER march route and spill out into the rest of the city, making sure
to reconverge with the main body of protesters, and in the process learn and practice
organic, grassroots organizational skills that allow us to turn one huge
protest into many smaller ones and many smaller protests into one large one.
